THE REPUBLICAN, PHARIsa Es.


The Republicans stand forth as the
pharisees OF cd, Boosting Of their good
deeds and loudly proclaiming that
they are the especial friends Of the
workingman. "By their fruits you
shall know them," and what their
fruits are in this State was manifested
in our Legislature few days sgo,
when q bill, introduced by Col. Savage,
was before them to put an end to evils
against the workingmen Of this Slate

ever have existed in 1t. This bill,
says the Nashville Telegram, twas a
bill making it unlawful for any joint

OF such company's properly to dis
charge or threaten to discharge any
employe for voting or not voting for
any particular candidate or measure,
or to discharge or threaten to dis

trading with any particular merchant,
person or class Of persons, or to
give notice to employees to deal
or not to deal with GER
tain persons, whether such notice
be accompanied by a threat TO dis
charge the employe or not" Is 1t mot
discreditable to the State OF Tennes

citizen and his right to cast his ballot

tons, 80 to violate one OF the cardinal
principles Of this Republic, yet be un'

eminent Officials wire servants of the
Emperor not of the Provincial Com
mittee, and they would be supported
by the government in their task of
effectuslly binding Alsaee. Lorraine to
Germany. The government was not
responsible for newspaper proposals.
II was not the result of the election,
but the spirit in which 1t had been
conducted, that induced the govern
ment to resort to the adoption OF the
measures OF which Herr Winterer
complained. Those measures did
not go further than was neres-
sary to protect the province from
illegal agitation, and they would be
enforced without regard to their being
liked or disliked. The government
was convinced that the time had ar-
rived when ii was necessary to adopt
measures more severe than it had
wished to adopt. A tendency 10 null
lily the provisions OF t1e treaty OF
Frankfort had to be confronted, and
measures had to bs adopted which
were calculated to fortify the eonStitu
tional position of the Provinces, in

Cuss the PIeuIO Pneumonia
Bill.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 15.-Rep-
resentatives from nearly every State in
the Union participated ia the delibera-
tons OF the United States Medical
Veterinary Association here today.
The subject OF pleuro pneumonia was
disCu :sed at length and the views OF
the association were embodied in the
following:
Resolved, That this association is con-
WINGED that incubation fer con tagious
pleuro pneumonia is inspplicable and
should not be adopted in the United
States, that no animals should be
placed in infected stables until thor
ough distinction has taken place, and
that all animals exposed to or having
the disease should be destroyed.

mission of the United States Army.
This act provides for q chief, with the
rank and pay of colonel; six inspect
ing veterinarians, with the rank and

A COTTON PROBLEM.

Americans are born inventors, not
only OF machinery but OF means by
which to carry out their policy, or in
sure the accomplishment Of important
objects they have In view. Is 1t not
remarkable that with the possession
OF such qualifications the Americans
should have so long looked on while
England built Liverpool, Manchester,
Oldham and other large and wealthy
cities out OF American cotton, and
never made a set, earnest, determined
effort to share fairly, at least, in pro-
ducing for themselves the vast riches
the English make out OF American
cotton. II the cotton manufacture
can build and then sustain the popu-
lations Of large cities, when freight
on the cotton has to be paid over a
large area OF land and sea, cannot the
Americans, who have the cotton at
their own door, obtain at least a lair
share OF the trader Their advantage
is 80 immense and 80 obvious that
the wonder is that there should
be need to ask the question.
II we determine to do 1t, cannot
we make cotton fabrics OF every kind
and quality at least as well as the En-
glish can" We have market al
home for an immense trade. Thii
cotton growing nation imports every
year s30,0OO,0O0 worth OF manuiact
ured cotton goods, nearly all made
from cotton OF our own growing. Lool
at the Evglish Manchester cotton
lords" and look at the American cot
ton grower; look at the vast populS
ton our cotton supports aud build
cities for in England, and look at tn
comparatively sparsely settled land
where the source Of oil this wealth
grown and owned. We are like
miner who keeps the Stag from tn
furnace for himseli and barrels tn
gold for transportation to others b,
You'd the ses, who enjoy the richie
while the mine owner steps anxiousl
about his mill with his untitled hant

Death AND THE GEAR.

Death walks beside each OF us all
the day long, and sits by our bed every
night, so that when we 20 out We do
not know that we shall ever return,
and when we lie down to rest that we
shall ever arise. Amid the ordinary

ever, only the morbid mind is dis
turbed by the fraiity OF our being. But
il We knew that in the streets we pass
t through, the roads we travel over, and
it may be even among tie domestics
within our dwelling, there were stern,
unsppsasable men seeking our life,
under such circumstances would life,

man cannot walk, or drive, or hunt,

THE SCOTCH OROFrRRs.

We sympathike with the Irish peo'
Pile that suffer wrong from the grasp
ing hands OF landlords, who care for
no Justice, and whose breast knows no
pity; but in Scotland the poor crofter
though more reticent in the expires =
sion of his woe, suffers no less. The
readers Of Walter SCOTS glorious
stories know that the Highland Scotch
were divided into clans, each with a
chief at lis head. These held their
lands "a common property, each one
by lot taking the portion he required
for his field, his garden, and the keep
of his COWS. He built his cottage, paid
nominal rent to the chief, aud lived
in peace. Then came the trouble
with the Stewards, the Scotch taking
the part OF the Pretsnder, many going
cover the water to Charlie" The
English put them down, confiscated
and cold much of their lands, and
everywhere the chieftain became the
absolute owner OF the lands Of the clan.
To take land on large scale for
which no consideration is to be pIid,
is a proposition regarded with horror
today. In those good old times, how
ever, the rich and the noble INDUCED
In the practice without hindrance'
The land appropriation chieftains be-
came lords, and associating with the
English OF their rank they learned the
ways of the English landlords and
practice them today. Then the
troubles OF the croiters began. The
crofters are tenants renting more OF
less land. As the lairds and chief
tains began to learn English modes oil
living, the old simplicity was lost, and
to keep up extravaganza rents wer'
raised, and those who could not pay
them were heartlessly evicted from
homes where generations had LIVED
before them. AT length 1t was found
that more money could be made by
throwing land into deer parks and
moors for sporting mobiles to shoe
over, than by letting 1t to farmers, ant
, the eviction business became whole
sale one, crowding Canada with Scotch
immigrants. The small farms are ais
commonly taken and merged into larg
ones. Driven to the verge o
madness by their wronge
the Highlanders OF the Isle Of Skye re
sisted. They claimed that the Ian
belonged to the clans, not to tn
7 chieltans. The object which the croft
= ers seek to attain ia to have the gov
